Inserting text into a pdf without the border.

Post by paleywiener »

I've checked out the 'Typewriter Tool' and 'Textbox tool': how do i insert text into a box with an invisible border?

If i use the Typewriter-tool, text is inserted in one massively long line since it has no concept of a border. On the other hand if i use the Textbox-tool, i can draw a nice little bordered box but then I can't hide the borders and I get a page that is filled with snippets of text and red borders which when the page is filled looks horrid.

Is it possible to create a different-style 'Textbox tool' where some boxes can be drawn with a red border, and some with no border when printed - which displays differently??

Hi paleywiener,

You can make the border of text boxes 0pt wide - and this will effectively hide it.
You can see here how to change the properties of objects in the Viewer:
